DWR Advisory

Boat ramp is extremely narrow. Wedge dock has been installed and park staff will keep it in as long as possible.

Red Fleet Reservoir near Vernal is surrounded by dramatic red sandstone country and holds quality Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Largemouth Bass. Dinosaur trackways on the shoreline add to the unique experience.
